How to Use the Driver Attention Alert (DAA)

Operating the DAA

The DAA operates when all of the following conditions are met and the system detects driver fatigue or decreased attentiveness based on deviation from the learned vehicle information.

  • The system detects white (yellow) lane lines.

  • One hour has passed since driving began.

  • The vehicle speed is about 65 km/h to 140 km/h (41 mph to 86 mph) for more than 20 minutes.

  • The system has completed an initial learning of vehicle information based on driving behavior during that driving session.

When the DAA is operating, the screen display and a warning sound will notify the driver that his/her attention level has decreased.

Turning off the DAA

Turn off the DAA using Mazda Connect.

Set in the Mazda Connect “Settings” or consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

 


For vehicles equipped with the driver monitoring camera, the DAA setting item is not displayed in Mazda Connect because the Driver Monitoring (DM) operation takes priority.
